Now that the 2011 Tostitos BCS National Championship is over, I can tell you that there is one thing for me that stood out most from watching that game. Yes, it was exciting that Heisman recipient QB Cam Newton led his Auburn Tigers to a 22-19 victory over the Oregon Ducks - but, that's not it. And you're right, it was even more exciting that the Ducks fought back and were close to a possible OT situation - but, that's not it either.
Call me silly but, the truth is, what I remember most days later (even more than Cam's *say cheese* smile above) is just how cool the Oregon Ducks looked in their fresh custom designed Nike uniforms. Even though they didn't win the game, they definitely lost in style. Shortly after, Nike came up with an advertisement just to brag.
Quite fitting.
How were the Oregon Ducks able to obtain these cool uniforms you ask? Well, the program received a 100 million dollar donation from alum Phil Knight in 2007. If you don't know who Phil Knight is, he happens to be the co-founder and Chairman of Nike. Makes sense now huh? In fact, the team has a possible 384 uniform combinations at their fingertips, thanks to Phil. Lucky *Ducks*. ;)
